Re: medical records
There are STRICT privacy rules about patient records. Remember George Clooney's motorcycle accident? Some hospital folks released information about his condition, they were not authorized to do so, and they were fired. Ask your mother to authorize the doctors to release the information to you, or ask WHO they are authorized to speak with or release records to.
